Installation and Running

First, clone the Qsar repo off of github into your chosen folder and cd into it.

git clone https://github.com/syedzayyan/qsar-in-browser.git

cd qsar-in-browser

Then, create a new conda environment followed by a nodejs installation after loading anaconda3.

ml anaconda3

conda create -n qsar

conda activate qsar

conda install conda-forge::nodejs

Finally, install the dependencies and run the website.

npm install

npm run dev

This will start qsar on http://localhost:3000 of the machine that you've started it on.

You may now use an SSH portal and a browser proxy add-on such as SwitchyOmega to remotely connect to the localhost website. If you don't know how to do so, follow the relevant guides on this wiki or ask a lab member.
